Lassus Sacred Music Discography Compiled by Jerome F. Weber This discography of the sacred music of Orlandus Lassus (Orlando di Lasso) is for the most part newly compiled, though the first fifteen pages have existed in working files for many years and the newly compiled Magnificats were published separately on this site in January 2019. The list of motets in Grove’s Dictionary 5, 1954 was rearranged into alphabetical order, then corrected from The New Grove Dictionary, 1980. Page numbers from SW are given unless SWnR (H) is indicated. A few titles have been lengthened for clarity. Unrecorded authentic Mass titles are included, but unrecorded Magnificat and motet titles are omitted unless the incipit is similar to another motet. Secular motets are included, and seven hymns not found in the list of motets have also been included. Cross-references have been inserted for clarity. The twelve textless motets (bicinia) of Cantiones duarum vocum (1577) are not included here; all twelve can be heard on Tactus TC 530301 (TC 531202) and Paraty 111.114. Michael Gray’s website classical-discography.org has furnished many details. Olivier Buttex, David Crook, Martin Elste, Pekka Gronow, Daniel Leech- Wilkinson, Rainer Lotz, Jonathan Manton and Karl Schrom have furnished much useful data. Several entries were found in James Erb’s selective discography in Orlando di Lasso: a guide to research (Garland, 1990). The recordings of each work are arranged chronologically, citing conductor, ensemble, date of recording and timing; then the format of the recording (ac, 78, 45, 33, LP, MC, CD, SACD, DVD), the label, the issue number(s) and track or band number. Album titles of mixed collections are added. Each recorded performance is indicated, if known, as: with instruments (w/i), no instruments (n/i), or instrumental only. The first 14 recordings (1925–33), the first three complete Masses and the first five Magnificats have been identified. Recorded works listed under Motets number 320. Additions and corrections may be conveyed to the compiler for inclusion in a revised version of the work. Go to Chantdiscography.com and click on ‘contact us’. A scan of a CD booklet that provides needed data would be invaluable.
